SUSAN JAMES - SEA GLASS

Susan James - Sea Glass

'Susan James' 'Sea Glass' finds her working with Sean O'hagan (The High Lllamas) to create a psych/folk/rock world all her own. There's a case to be made that Susan James' brand new follow up album, 'Sea Glass', is her definitive album. She's created an orchestral psych-folk-rock world all her own. 'Sea Glass' shines a bright light on her fine productions skills and stellar songwriting, timely subject matter is wrapped in her fable-like word tapestries. Close friend Sean O'hagan (The High Llamas) contributed throughout. Previous album, Driving Toward The Sun (released 2013) met with much critical acclaim. The beautiful layered vocals, retro instrumental passages, and haunting melodies of 'Sea Glass' will no doubt do the same ''

Susan James’ sixth album, Sea Glass, is a glorious swirl of folk melodies and heart-swelling harmonies. It was originally released in 2015. She describes it as post-modern folk-rock. It was arranged with the help of High Llamas multi-instrumentalist, Sean O’Hagan. His influence on the arrangements - informed by Brian Wilson - is clear to see. O’Hagan compares James to ‘60s artists Judy Henske and Nancy Priddy.
